Going Indie ─ Link

I'm an entrepreneur and avid gamer, and after starting an indie game studio of my own, I created Going Indie to shape the future of gaming by supporting the passionate game devs making the next generation of innovative games.

We believe

• Video games are the greatest form of art.
• Passion should be the foundation of a game studio.
• Unethical business practices are unacceptable.
• Games should be fun forward.

Razbuten ─ Link

Hey. It's me. Raz. I started this channel to learn more about video games. In my attempts to do this, I've mainly focused on seeing what video games are like for people who don't play them (Gaming For A Non-Gamer) and exploring various themes/mechanics that I find interesting/questionable (pretty much everything else).
